Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I always need to submit an amendment for changes to my protocol?
The IACUC should be notified of any requested changes to your Animal Use Protocol prior to their implementation. Protocol changes that require an amendment request to be submitted to the IACUC include, yet are not limited to, changes involving increasing the number of animals used, adding additional species, including additional experimental procedures or pilot studies, adding anesthetics/analgesics, changing housing/use locations, altering the early removal criteria, and changing the Principal Investigator. The change of adding or removing Co-Investigators or other personnel does not require an amendment request and can be implemented by submitting an
IACUC Personnel Addition/Removal Form to the IACUC Office.
